Urine collection assembly

Abstract

A urine collection assembly for collecting a urine sample from an infant wherein the urine is prevented from being spilled. The assembly includes a garment that may be worn about an infant's genital area. A reservoir is coupled to the garment. The reservoir may collect the urine from the infant. The reservoir is penetrable by a syringe. The urine is drawn into the syringe without spilling the urine from the reservoir.

I claim: 
     
       1. A urine collection assembly comprising:
 a garment configured to be worn about the infant's genital area, said garment having an uppermost wall and a bottommost wall each extending between a first and a second end of said garment, an uppermost wall of said garment having a first flap positioned over a top end of a reservoir, a lowermost wall of said garment having a second flap positioned over a bottom side of an exterior wall of said reservoir; 
 said reservoir coupled to said garment wherein said reservoir is configured to collect the urine from the infant, each of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of said bottom side of said exterior wall of said reservoir being penetrable by a syringe, each of said first and second lateral edges of said bottom side of said exterior wall of said reservoir being comprised of a resiliently penetrable material, said first flap being positionable in a closed position such that the urine is retained in said reservoir. 
 
     
     
       2. The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said garment being elongated. 
     
     
       3. The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said reservoir having said exterior wall extending between said top end and a bottom end of said reservoir, said top end of said reservoir being open. 
     
     
       4. The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said top end of said reservoir being coupled to said bottom surface of said uppermost wall of said garment. 
     
     
       5. The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said first flap being positionable in an open position to access an interior of said reservoir. 
     
     
       6. The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said second flap being positionable between an open position and a closed position. 
     
     
       7. A urine collection assembly comprising:
 a garment having a first end and a second end, said garment being elongated, said garment having an uppermost wall and a bottommost wall each extending between said first and second ends of said garment, said garment being configured to be worn about the infant's genital area; 
 a reservoir having an exterior wall extending between a top end and a bottom end of said reservoir, said top end of said reservoir being open, said top end of said reservoir being coupled to a bottom surface of said uppermost wall of said garment wherein said reservoir is configured to collect the urine from the infant; 
 each of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of a bottom side of said exterior wall of said reservoir being penetrable by a syringe; 
 each of said first and second lateral edges of said bottom side of said exterior wall of said reservoir being comprised of a resiliently penetrable material; 
 said uppermost wall of said garment having a first flap positioned over said top end of said reservoir, said first flap being positionable in a closed position such that the urine is retained in said reservoir, said first flap being positionable in an open position to access an interior of said reservoir; and 
 said lowermost wall of said garment having a second flap positioned over said bottom side of said exterior wall of said reservoir, said second flap being positionable between an open position and a closed position.
